Thanks for much for leaving your comment. You know, your comment is the first one I’ve ever heard of this type on this topic. I think your perspective and thought is terrific. In many ways what you’ve noted really points to the importance of peer support; each one of us taking the responsibility to look out for each other. We aren’t just fictional characters; we are real people.

Great idea Wendy!

I followed this story right from the start. When I heard she went back to living as a man I felt saddened already. I think it’s this ambivalence that provokes trangendered people to take their own lives.

The pressures from society, our families, the media, etc. can exert such a profound force on a transgendered person. I think if we can provide more freindship and love to others experiencing this major adjustment maybe we could prevent the suicides. Just my thoughts… Wendy Andresen
